how do you handle conflict
I try to Avoid conflicts :) Nothing is personal. Everyone thinks company’s benefits; so I would like to explain my concern and his/her explanation makes sense for me. Of course, I can do the things which is most helpful to my company. So, I try to communicate with his/her and I would try to understand the concern. Because everyone has the same goal and wants to get job done successfully. We are professionals I try not allow anything have an impact on the productivity of team and also, I try to solve the issue among us not engaging the upper management. I believe the power of face to face communication, listening without judging, empathy. I found a defect, the junior developer did not consider it as defect, he even retarded and behaved rudely, but thanks to our team norms I did not continue the discussion and set up a meeting with the BA, and the leads of the developers and test lead. Even without the mentioning the issue between us, I explained the details of the defect I found and asked them to come up with a decision. I especially avoid making this personal, probably my team mate also understood his mistake, and fix the defect quickly, from that time on our friendship has improved
